Welcome to Michael’s Blog!

I thought of all the categories this year, Animals was by the far the best it has ever been, huge improvement here. Any finalist image in this category could absolutely win a contest and so much of it came down to the individual judge's subjective opinion. Very Excited to announce the winner of the Animals Category, Adrian Judy for "The Lion's Roar", great emotional vibe of an animal doing something it does best. Loved it!

A HUGE congratulations to all our winners, finalists and nominees in this category.
